ubuntu16.04下，man: nothing appropriate.问题解决

执行man -k或man -f 出现nothing appropriate,同时还发现whatis 也是如此。

root@ubuntu01:~# whatis man
man: nothing appropriate.
root@ubuntu01:~# whatis ls
ls: nothing appropriate.

执行makewhatis无效，需执行mandb建立索引，问题解决。

root@ubuntu01:~# makewhatis
makewhatis: command not found

root@ubuntu01:~# mandb
